What Happens When You Stop Processed Food - Massive Weight Loss & Health Boost!
They're tantalizing, they're scrumptious and they're so easy to stock and so convenient to just grab and eat. Perfect foods? Not at all! They're more like the perfect storm to uproot your health and dump it far away from where we ideally want it to be in order to thrive.
So, if you were wondering just what stopping consumption of these addictive processed foods can do for your body, your mind and your overall well-being, I've got just the right video for you. I bet it'll stop you in your tracks at the grocery store and make you rethink many, many aspects of your dietary choices.

I would have put loss of uncontrollable cravings at the top of the list because losing those cravings restored my ability to eat correctly. Great vid.
After a major health scare, I decided to cut out all crap and alcohol from my diet. After just 1 week I felt my energy levels skyrocket, I had better mental clarity and my workouts were a lot easter. I swear beetroot has been my saviour. I even crave avocados, bake my own bread and do you know what? Making your own meals is very satisfying and therapeutic.
Lacey you completely changed my life you helped motivate me through your videos to have a healthier lifestyle I have lost 95 pounds I have another 30 to go and I’ve lost 74 inches I live my life with such happiness thank you for motivating me and all of us women thank you again from the bottom of my heart you have given me my life back❤️🇨🇦
Hey you🌞🌞
Jennifer!!! I am so freaking proud of you! What an amazing accomplishment
@@laceybaier_ Thankyou❤️
@@laceybaier_ can you eat bread. And is it healthy for you
This is incredible! You must feel so much better. Great job.
I lost 60 pounds simply by cutting booze, deep fried food, processed snacks and fast food. I still ate relatively dirty stuff like enchiladas. Heck, I even shared homemade desserts like cobblers on special occasions. The big difference at the end of the day is if I want to eat it I have to make it.
I’ve been off fast food for 7 weeks now and I had a gas station pizza the other day and let me tell you I felt so sad and depressed afterwards never doin that again
Interesting. Yes,, this is definitely intentional😞 After being sick all night,, I’m trying to start my own journey as well☀️
When I gave up processed foods, I had soo much energy like I would wake up not tired, I’d go on 10 mile hikes and feel amazing. I feel that fat people cannot loose weight because their tired and they eat processed foods.
It definitely makes it much harder to do so, I agree. I'm so glad you found a way to eliminate them from your life.
I’ve noticed this too since cutting down on processed foods
I weigh 355 pounds. I eat nothing but processed foods, which is insane. I can't believe I've been making my life so much worse by eating chips. Wow, and I do have headaches. You are telling me the truth, that it is questioning what I am eating. Thank you so much; I truly appreciate it.
Hi, mate. I saw your comment and just wondered if you'd made any changes? 👍
Hi Lacey I've been off processed foods for a couple of weeks. I've started a low carb diet. What I've noticed is I'm less bloated and I don't have anymore stomach cramps.
I've started a low carb/low sugar diet a while ago. Stopped ultra processed foods also. Probably been a year already. I feel much better and I get up out of bed super early now. 2-3 hours earlier than usual, because I sleep way better. No waking up from sleep anymore during the night.
Absolutely 100% correct. Lacey, if the average person went through their pantry/kitchen cupboards and fridges and threw out all the processed food they have, especially the highly processed they would have not much left to eat. 😀
If anyone is just starting out with a healthier diet and is worried about sugar cravings then you can add a few chunks of ripe mango or a couple of chopped dates to some of your recipes. You can cook with unsweetened coconut milk or add some sweet corns. This will help you to stay away from added sugar yet satisfy your sugar cravings.
I've had an on and off journey with weight thanks to depression, so this is my second time going through this health journey 🤞🤞🤞
You got this!!
You are a blessing!! Thank you for keeping it real.
I love how real she is 💯
Thank you. I needed this.
this was a wonderful, to the point video. I really appreciate it. I have done this and it has been a month. Last night I fell off the wagon lol - while making Christmas cookies - I had one too many, along with some chips. This morning I have a slight headache and my body just feels yucky. There is so much truth to what you say and I am actually glad I did that last night so that I can see the affects of crappy eating! I will subscribe - I like your point of view with no fluff at the beginning of the video. Thank you.
So in terms of 8 and 9 they pretty much go together. I have always drank soda. Like my parents would put it in my bottle. I never drank water. So about 8 yrs ago I was getting a massage from a friend who knew that I didn't drink water after. She filled a quart jar with ice, water and a whole lemon and wouldn't let me leave until it was gone. Then filled it up for me to take with me. The next day I was amazed that I wasn't dealing with the typical pain after a massage. So I decided to drink more water and I just kept doing it. I got curious about how long I could go before I caved. I still drink water and it's my main drink. If I have a soda I think how did I do this? So here is what I learned. Our bodies will crave what it knows we will give it. So in the past I never craved water, because my body knew I wouldn't drink it. So if I was very dehydrated it screamed for soda. Now I rarely crave soda. I crave water.
Fascinating!!!
Thanks for all the wonderful information, I couldn’t agree more and always try and eat organic as much as possible! My skin definitely reacts to processed foods.
this is a great video, ive presently removed processed food from my diet, about 10 days ago, and to ensure i dont go back and truly understand why i eat the way i eat, took notes from your video and made a list of my WHY. love the food you eat, but make sure the food you eat loves you back! Thanks Lacey!
It's because of this informational video. I subscribed 🤩... Do you have a video for beginner's that is more in detailed with a foods list and or recipes? Or can you suggest an app or website? Thank you! 😊
I’ve been eating mostly whole/raw foods for about two months now… she is totally right about being sensitive to saltiness, and flavor sensitivity, but by far the worst thing about eating mostly raw fruits and veggies and nuts is how much the jaw muscles hurt after eating. My jaw muscles are overworked but I feel great and haven’t had any bubble gut since
It’s not the salt which is the problem salt was blamed for years for what the sugar does
Why not cook them? Eating cooked vegetables isn’t the same as eating ultra processed food
Been watching a slew of videos and yours is the very best. Very informative. My husband has had migraines since he was 8. He is going to do this with me so we can support each other and stick with it. We are always sick. Gained weight. I always was thin my entire life. Not anymore. 😆. Im ready. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. This is the video I needed. ❤
Hi Lacey, I jumped on my healthier self a few days ago when I came across one of your videos. I've subscibed and love all the different recipes and things. I'm 56 and have been over 200 lbs since I was 14. I'm energized by all you share. Thanks so much! I just ordered the 30 days healthty (inflamation) package and can't wait.
Aw, yay Mary!! It's wonderful to have you
Thank you so much this was really helpful!
Hey you🌞🌞
Wow, great video. All information was spot-on. Many people would start the switch toward more natural foods if they were just educated. This video really helps.
thank you so much for the feedback
Omg The part where talk about that your taste buds are pretty much gonna change once you get used to unprocessed foods I really wanted to hear! Because I always wondered how it is possible that the food that comes straight out of nature tastes boring (sometimes) compared to ultra processed foods. Thank you!
Awesome video. It’s finals week for my college quarter and all of an eating a salty ramen every day. I’m ready to make a change
I started eating almost only Whole Foods about 4 days ago and I am having headaches, body aches and not feeling great. I know it should only last a week so I’m so excited to see how I feel when I am done with the first week. So far, eating like this has helped me be fuller longer and I really have noticed that. I haven’t weighed myself but I also feel less bloated. I also am staying away from gluten so getting my carbs another way is important as well.
as a tween who is 160 lbs, and used to hate myself for being 120 lbs, i lost control and continued gaining weight. thanks for helping me get back on track. im gonna try harder this time.
I’m currently quitting all of these things and starting to feel a lot better. My anxiety has gone down a lot too. I’m still getting cravings but I’m managing myself better than I thought I would.
I am highly addicted to processed foods, and your right about those chips! Even though i get full, cant stop eating them. So im gradually making the change, and the food..ugh. i made one of my old favorites i used to love..a roast, mashed potatoes. Gravy, and black eye peas. It tasted terrible! Whats worse, i got acid indigestion and a belly ache. Is this normal? I dont get that when i eat processed foods....sighs..
A lot of those foods you say eat I can’t eat because they cause inflammation in my body. I did an elimination diet… no nuts no processed sugar no gluten no beans NO dairy severe pain with even a tiny bit of dairy. And of course no processed food at all. Just meat, sea food, vegetables and some fruit. I make smoothies with water added to organic can coconut milk. On the up side I’m very thin now lol
A LCHF diet is also pretty good if you have certain conditions. And yes, cooking at home. It’s better for me
I'm giving them up for lent.
I find myself tired sometimes and i want to order takeout. But if i am too tired to cook i will take a nap, then when i wake up i want to cook.
I try cut out UPF but my bad ! As a European how to leave macarons, quality cookies, pralines, meringues ? I do make my meals myself included sauces, accept cocktail sauce 😂
Great video. Thank you. Wholesometarians strive to stay away from processed foods👍
Absolutely!
Awesome video
Hey you🌞🌞
I did this when I started fasting. Now I don't even get takeout anymore and when I do I feel terrible after not the part where I tell myself I shouldn't have had that. I get cramps when I eat junk now.
SAME!!
Lacey of all video on weat loss l like yours the best you look thing over when it comes to eating right that is the I do thing I lost 140 ponds 5 years ago and still keeping it off
Some of these people need stop with there weat video I will never go with some of there avice they drink diet pop I gave diet pop up five years and loss 140 ponds I all eat very heathey
We don't use sodas or ALOT OF fruit juice from the STORE... We are aghast at the amount of sodium in canned veg. Which I do keep a full pantry of, but when cooking I do not add salt or pepper until it hits your plate and that's up to the person eating... I feel there is way too many additives ... Msg and black pepper also trigger migraines.. I will NOT buy anything with MSG in it and avoid large amounts of BLACK pepper.. I have found if I need to use pepper for flavor I switched to white pepper and I only use about 1/2 as much for the same flavor. ..ive ALSO used sweet pickles when I've had the I gotta have something sweet craving in the middle of the night or day. ..... 1 small sweet pickle and the craving is satisfied and it's like no fat and the vinegar helps with burning the few calories the sugar the pickle had in it... Helped ME...
In high school I started having really intense bloating and eczema and decided to put my foot down and eat right with the help of my very insightful mom. Unfortunately my eczema didn’t go away but my bloating did. I ate right for a few years but ended up developing an intense sugar addiction that ended in me eating mostly hard candy and ice cream all day every day. This month I said enough is enough and I’m cracking my sugar addiction. It’s definitely hard but I’ve been successful and I noticed the cravings are slowly but surely getting better. In addition to all of it I’ve also been growing my own food and the taste of fresh picked greens, herbs, vegetables, and fruits is like nothing else. And whenever I get tempted and eat something overly processed I realize how little flavor it has and how much better fresh real food is. I wish my closest friends and family realized this too but I hope that one day they will.
❤❤❤
My mom had really bad eczema and cut out dairy and red meat and it went away! Apparently both of those are inflammatory. I don’t eat red meat either as it’s listed as a 2A carcinogen with a possible link to causing cancer 😬
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
Interessting. What about Pasta, that have one one ingredient? Like my lentil Spaghetti: 100% Red lentil flour.... Can this be considered "unprocessed food"?
Thoughts on popcorn? I cook it on the stove with just oil and salt, no butter.
I gave up anything with sugar added to it for lent and it was like weaning myself off crack cocaine. When Easter arrived I ate some chocolate and I swear the next day I felt like I'd be hit by a bus. This revealed to me the truth about these foods. It's only when you've given yourself a lengthy break from them that you can see their true effect on you. And the true effect is horrific.
I find it strange how we have "healthy fats" but not "healthy sugars." But as a society, we are dedicated to removing fat from everything and then adding sugar. I'm confused.
Fruit is healthy sugar
I love fruit, veggies i only like corn, green beans ,potatoes. Do you have any videos on eating healthy for picky eaters. I dont do broccoli or any of that i cant i have tried. I love chicken, and meat. Im not trying to lose weight but i am trying to stay away from bio engineered foods ect. I drink water, and infused water, gatorade make a water with no sugar at all its costly .
the past 2days i ate out i do this often however they way i felt after Extremely drowsy just awful
Just go cold turkey, instant results
They will no longer make then , if people don't buy them...think 🤔
On day 9 no processfoods and refined sugar. I'm feeding my Microbiome with more fruit and veg. I'm eating high healthy fats, high fibre. I hope to help my extreme anxiety disorders. I have headaches, tiredness, bad mood. I ate a huge amount of crap, so I had bad withdrawal but hoping they'll be gone by week 2. Definitely worth it though
Hey, is it helpful?😊
@@camillkax1367 it definitely helped sleep and energy, but not mental stuff. I'm 2 weeks into carnivore now. I was keto for a few weeks, now carnivore. I have moments of freedom. My ocd is much better. I'm doing 90 days. I'm hopeful
My wife makes me curry nuts which replaces potato chips, and protein balls made from nuts and dates ground together to replace cakes, biscuits, chocolates and lollies. For me it really helps. ❤
I believe in low carb but on keto they say less than 20 grams of carbs. That's too restrictive for me. Plus there are people on KZhead claiming to eat nothing but meat for years. I think they are lying
Agreed. I’ve only known a couple people who truly did keto and they all got stones 😖 it’s so bad for you for more than a week or two & if you’re not truly obese. Great marketing tactic though 😔
I am working on being at least 98% processed free
even the so called '' natural '' processed '' foods are bad found at health foods stores loaded with salt i gained some weight from hfcs processed food and too much sugar also the soda and juice with sugar pounds gone in a week 12 just from losing water retention and stomach fat this diet works fast thanks!
What are your thoughts on veganism? Does meat and dairy products really hurt us as bad as some say it does?
I think that is really depends on your body, beliefs and goals. Some people do extremely well with being vegan, and for others, it may be too restrictive. The main issue is how processed so much of our food is. If you stick to real, whole foods majority of the time, I think you will see major changes!
@@laceybaier_ Thank you so much!
I was vegan for many years and did not eat any processed foods. I tried to eat whole foods and I ate tons of legumes for protein. I started to develop severe eczema, shingles on my torso and other unexplained rashes. After many years of trying to figure out what was wrong with me because no doctor could figure it out, I met two twin sisters who were extremely sick on a vegan diet. They went carnivore for a year to heal their bodies and lo and behold all their health conditions disappeared and their autoimmune diseases went into remission. At that point when I met them, I was so desperate and I was willing to try anything. And so I went carnivore for 6 months and all my rashes went away within 48 hours, my skin began to glow, and all my food allergies went away as well. My husband who had developed pain on his joints and neck also found complete healing from the carnivore diet. I could never advocate the vegan diet because of how sick I was for many years. I’m also not encouraging a carnivore diet forever, but I would for a certain period of time to heal the body. We need animal protein and fat. The animal protein has amino acids that could never be found in legumes and leafy greens. It doesn’t matter how much of it you eat. Also, protein is the building blocks for everything in your body. I have never ever again had eczema once I started to eat grassfed meat and other animal proteins as well. Hope this is helpful. ❤
Hi fructose corn syrup is probably the most worst sugar you could put in your body. There’s all kinds of sugars
After year of "clean" eating I still have sugar cravings. I love gummies. So what can I do to suppress it.
I fight that, too. What helps me is I bought an inexpensive dehydrator that had a tray with no holes. I then pureed lots of berries ( recipes online) and put the mixture on a tray to make fruit leather. It gave me both the sweetness and the chewiness I craved. I hope this helps. Have a great day 🙂
What bread type foods can I eat?
Minimally processed grains are best! I really like Dave's Killer Bread brand
Or Ezekiel 4:9 sprouted bread.
I agreed with the fact my body felt more refreshed, but i disagree with decreasing craving and weight loss. I have stopped processed food in 6 months, but i haven't lost anything.
I'm surprised about the lack of weight loss - that's usually an easy change when removing processed foods. Perhaps you might also want to look at total calories? I have a video on how to calculate your macros to understand how much you should eat and in what ratios for weight loss here: kzhead.info/sun/rcV_gZ1xqYSIrWw/bejne.html

I'm 22 year old girl, was obese during my teenage years, in 2019 I lost a lot of weight due to classes, and working as a part-time barista. Until the pandemic hit us, I suddenly obese again. My question is, is it too late for me to be healthy again? Cus I have been falling sick so much lately.
Of course not. It's never too late to start. The sooner you start the better! I was the heaviest I've ever been just a little over a week ago (269) and im 5 foot 3, I've lost 10 pounds already and I already feel so much better. Never been more motivated to lose weight
It is never too late to return to healthy eating. You can do it!!
@Gymgirly i’m sorry for the late reply. we have our days, definitely. Please don’t give up and try to do it slowly. I always regret whenever I stop doing it 😭 i wish u all the best. And I know it’s hard times now 🥹
From today on I'm going to try not to eat process food🧿♥️💪Wish me luck😅
You got this!
Since I stopped eating processed foods, I don’t feel tired in the morning and I’m able to wake up early even if I’ve stayed up late reading.
That is so awesome!
The most important reason to quit fast food, processed foods is that you'll have a stroke or heart attack and survive it. That outcome will leave you disabled and a burden on others. If we could abuse our bodies with this toxic food and just die from a massive stroke, then maybe that would be okay. But ERs are very good at bringing us back from the ledge. So, not worth the risk for me.
❤
Is rice processed food?
No
Better off not having any plus I’m allergic to soy which is in all is the crap.
Yeah, soy is in a lot of products . I realized this when I began reading nutritional labels
I’ve started trying to avoid “processed” foods like anything that has Lake dyes, caramel coloring (it’s astounding how many things have caramel coloring! Like some coffees, soy sauces, “healthy” cookies, etc). It’s insane how much junk and how many carcinogens are in foods in the US (be on the lookout for secret bug powders too 😖)
Isn’t it crazy how common it is? Way to go looking out for it!
Is bread a processed food?
Yes. Its only bad tho if you eat loades daily. If you eat a piece toaste with sardines or avacodo on couple times per week its not too bad. Stick to 80 percent fresh food and 20 percent other food and you will feel fine.
Unfortunately, dairy is carcinogenic so not a good thing to consume. Meat, fish and eggs are also problematic so eating less of these would be beneficial. They are high in cholesterol, high in fat, pharmaceutical antibiotics, added hormones and micro plastics.
Not for me! Still 70 pounds overweight and insulin resistant with diabetes.
Whole grains are very bad for you
eat animals and stuff that grows out of the ground.
It is better to die from processed foods 😂than vegetables .
I think it's more about longevity! :)
@@laceybaier_ yup mommy
Nope it’s not processed foods can actually cause cancer and many health problems. You’ll suffer the rest of your life before you even hit the dirt.
Would be nice if you got your terminology right. There is nothing wrong with processed food - frozen vegetables, yoghurt, pickles are all processed foods. But you mostly talk about ultra-processed foods, and yet mention the name only once.
She alludes to *minimally* processed foods as being ok (btw, yogurt is more processed with sugar and preservatives). It should have been clear to you the difference. It's a shame all you got out of the video is the opportunity to talk semantics and nit-pick.🙄
This vid is so blippy I had to stop watching. Why can’t you just speak without the cuts/blips/photos ???
Sorry you feel that way!
Tattoos reduce the credibility of a speaker.
But you’re still here listening. Nobody asked you for your negativity. If you think a drawing on somebody effects their knowledge then good look in this next generation nearly everybody has tattoos we will be the ones taking care of y’all when y’all are old 🫶🏾
It doesn’t
